I Worked For MrBeast, He's A Sociopath

I keep thinking I should look into this MrBeast drama, then I remember I just do not give a single fuck.

I went through a h3h3 phase when I was like 20, then realised that any YT drama is just toxic and it’s best to avoid it entirely.

I miss Tom Scott, just made quality videos with none of the BS. Nothing over the top, just interesting content from a genuine guy who cares about his audience.

Netflix axes its $10 ‘Basic’ plan in the US and UK

I cancelled Netflix last month and had only kept it that long for family members.

After cancelling, I got a welcome back email because they’re apparently happy to let anyone logged in reactivate the subscription…

So I contacted them again to cancel, get a refund and ask what happened.

Then I decided I wanted to remove my card details from the account, but apparently you can only do that by contacting support…

So they think it’s okay to let anyone restart the subscription from a TV without entering a password, but they’ll make you contact support to remove card details…

Women Should Just Be Honest

I get where they’re coming from, but it’s still not great being a guy and only getting vague signals that you’re trying to piece together. Ghosting is also another issue that’s honestly just disrespectful.

While it may ultimately be those man children who ruin it for everyone, some upfront honesty is generally very appreciated.

tbf, Caitlin Clark is the only WNBA player that’s profitable, and she’s kinda limited salary wise by the fact that the women’s league in general is not profitable and heavily subsidised by the NBA.

People will bitch about how the men’s league gets paid so much in comparison, then proceed to not watch the women’s league…

If you want it to make money YOU need to support it 🫵

Devs on Unity Runtime Fee: "The trust is gone forever"

I said it in another thread, but Unity has truly fucked the vendor-client relationship.

While it is a nightmare, you can work with a company that changes its prices and terms, but you absolutely can’t work with a company that pulls this level of BS.

It’s just not safe to have your company so dependent on a vendor that could tank it on a whim.

The Vitamin

Honestly, that kinda happened to me.

Well, I had a blood test because I was having heart palpitations and under extreme stress, so not exactly “just collapsed”. But they found I have hypothyroidism, and life’s much better and much easier with the medication.

Turns out you’re not supposed to feel tired after doing nothing, sleep 12 hours, then wake up tired…

Annoyingly this must’ve been an issue for years, but I was raised to “shut up and get on with it”, and told the problem was that I’m “just lazy” :/

Gabe looking good

Gotta be Ozempic.

Too many famous people who’ve been overweight for decades suddenly losing weight in the last couple of years.

Nothing wrong with it though, hopefully it will start helping regular people lose weight as well.

For some reason people seem to think they’re fundamentally smarter than people were back then.

Yeah, you may have technically had a better education, but you’re not inherently more intelligent than the average person back then, and a genius from that time is still miles ahead of you.
